Planted four plants straight into the ground this year (early May) and grew vertically. This variety gives such heavy yields we had to harvest every two days, at the very least, once the started producing. We made pickles every weekend for for four or five weeks (approx. 40 quarts) until the cucumber beetle infestation hit later in the season. Everyone is raving about our dill pickles! This variety is deliciously crisp and mild when eaten fresh. Considering only planting two or three next year since they are so prolific. Will grow no other variety.

Basically planted the seed and gave it water every other day. That was all it needed!! I cannot believe how many cucumbers I have picked and its still blooming.
I did feed it coffee grounds from time to timer which really made it take off.

I probably won't try these again. I am in SW MO - Zone 6A. The heat has been a little hotter than normal this summer but I haven't gotten one good cucumber. They've all turned yellow and gone bad before I've had a chance to pick. One day I had one too young to pick, looked outside the next morning and it was bright yellow. They just seem to be too sensitive for my zone. Will go back to my old variety next year - Straight Eight.
